A griot is a storyteller who preserves and passes down history in stories and poems and songs.
They're part of West African culture but the term itself has a bit of colonialist irony in its aura — one theory is that "griot" is adapted from the Portuguese word "criado" or creator.
Griots are part of the story that unfolds in the number one movie in America last weekend, Sinners,set in 1930s Mississippi — a voiceover for the opening animation says that the griots' art "can bring healing to the community but [in the context of this movie] it also attracts evil."
